“Wow! That’s so fast!” Some random person from the audience suddenly exclaimed.

The entire place went silent for a moment before everyone started holding their breaths together. Following that came hushed whispers and cheers… They were all looking at that girl in the 3rd lane who had been lagging behind. Her speed had suddenly increased, and not only that, her posture was getting even more beautiful by the moment!

Head Coach Li had not been too bothered with the situation in the pool the entire time. After his last declaration to Zhang Shulin, he was 100% certain that Shi Guang would be eliminated. However, as though he did not want Zhang Shulin to be sad, he started consoling him instead, “Coach Zhang, it’s true that this seedling IS indeed rather decent and you’ve got quite a good foresight. It’s just unfortunate that this time around…”

Suddenly, he was interrupted by Zhang Shulin. “She’s not eliminated, neither will she be!”

Zhang Shulin, who had been watching the pool intently the entire time, remarked carefreely before bursting out into laughter.

Head Coach Li was stunned for a moment before looking back at the pool. When he caught sight of that astounding burst of Shi Guang’s, his eyes widened in amazement—that speed was totally different from how it was earlier!

“What’s going on? How did she turn so fast?” Head Coach Li mumbled out, “She’s pushing her burst forward?”

Zhang Shulin did not reply as he mumbled under his breath, “Her breathing has finally been pushed to once per two strokes. The power of her legs is normal by now as well. She has finally found her form! No, this is an abnormally strong unleashing of her strength…!”

Shi Guang had been chasing the entire time, and was now in the 2nd place from the 6th place she was initially.

Everyone was watching with wide opened jaws and boiling blood.

Someone could not help but yell out.

“Jiayou!!”

That single lone cheer became two. Suddenly, the cheering sounds that had diminished in the hall had risen completely.

Chu Mubei could not help but stand up as well. Gripping his fists tightly, he helped to the cause. “Little Sister Shi Guang, jiayou!”

Mo Yanzhi was no longer in the same indifferent state he was always in. Instead, he was watching the pool intently—it was clear that he was getting pumped as well.

The entire tension of the place got hotter by the moment.

It was getting more intense now!

The sounds of cheers from the crowd were so strong that the entire hall was almost quaking due to the volume. However, Shi Guang was completely oblivious to everything around her. She only had a single target in her mind—the endpoint.

Despite that, she wasn’t flustered at all as she glided through the waters effortlessly, totally disregarding any opponents she had.

She was held up by a bed of thorns—the lone queen that stood high and above.

She tore through the waves and bolted—the daughter of Poseidon.

With a suave flip, she touched the wall… And just like that, the final 50m of the 5th group was underway. She was neck to neck with the swimmer currently in the 1st place now.

“Jiayou.”

“Jiayou!!”

Waves of support were burning out through the crowd.

No one would have expected that this preliminary heat that couldn’t get any more ordinary would have gotten this bustling, neither would they have expected themselves to get pumped up watching it.

The girl in the 1st place was clearly feeling the pressure mounting on her right now.

For her final 50m’s burst, she sped up, going faster and faster, bent on ditching Shi Guang behind her. However, the latter was just like chewing gum. No matter how she tried, she could not get rid of her.

It was the final 20m now—this would decide their fates.

The girl in the 1st place saw how Shi Guang had been in burst mode the entire time and felt that she should run out of steam about now. Thinking that, she used every single bit of strength she had and propelled herself forward, determined to leave Shi Guang in the dust completely with just these two final seconds—she wanted to end the race now.

But, she had just taken a breath with her strokes when she saw her greatest competitor—Shi Guang who was neck to neck with her—bolt by her like a missile.

Just as she wanted to try her best to catch back up, it was too late—the race had ended.

Even as her hands touched the wall, she floated where she was and could not come back to her senses for the longest time. The image that she had witnessed was still freshly imprinted in her mind.

How could someone have such a horrifying burst speed and sustain it for that long…!
